Wegovy Flextouch 2.4mg pre-filled pen is used to promote weight loss, help regulate blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease when used in conjunction with a low-calorie diet and regular physical activity. This pen is prescribed to those who have type 2 diabetes and are 12 years old or above. This pre-filled pen has Semaglutide as its main ingredient, and it works as a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It reduces your appetite and slows down gastric emptying in your body by binding to receptors in your brain. It also binds with the beta cells in the pancreas and facilitates the secretion of insulin. When high sugar levels are detected in the bloodstream, it limits the amount of glucagon produced in the intestines. Therefore, due to the aforementioned factors, you can effectively regulate your sugar levels and maintain a healthy weight.
